Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou marked the first anniversary of her arrest in Canada by penning an open letter to her supporters, thanking them for their “warmth” and “kindness.”
In the letter, which was written in English and posted on the company’s website on Sunday, Meng said that living under house arrest, while difficult, has allowed her to slow the pace of her life — read a book from cover to cover, complete an oil painting.
Meng’s description of her time spent under house arrest paints a stark contrast to the conditions under which Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor have languished since they were arrested by Beijing authorities in May.
Their conditions have been described as harsh — the men are subjected to six to eight hours of interrogation a day, are not allowed to go outside and instead spend their time in prison cells where the light is kept on 24 hours a day.
